7 minutes
Dean Lewis Lyrics

It's been seven minutes now since I lost my way
It has been seven minutes since I became uncertain about my path in life.

It doesn't seem that long but my whole world has changed
Although the time passed was short, the impact on my life was huge.

It's in all the little things, when you smile, now it stings
Even the smallest things remind me of you and now they cause me pain.

It's been seven minutes since I've lost the girl of my dreams
It has been seven minutes since I lost the girl that I wished to spend my life with.

It's been half an hour now since I dropped you home
It has been thirty minutes since I left you at your place.

And I'm driving past the places we both know
I am passing by the familiar locations we shared together.

Past the bar where we first kissed
I am passing by the bar where we shared our first kiss.

And that movie that we missed
I am passing by the movie theater where we missed a movie because we were hanging out in the parking lot.

'Cause we were hanging out in the parking lot
We were in the parking lot, rather than watching the movie inside the theater.

Now I sink a little deeper, think a little clearer
As I reflect, I feel more and more weighed down but my thoughts become clearer.

Looking at myself through these newfound eyes
I am seeing myself in a new perspective.

Is it too late to turn around?
Am I too far gone to rectify my mistake?

I'm already halfway out of town
I have already left and put quite some distance between us.

Now I know how I let you down
I finally understand how I have disappointed you.

Oh, I finally figured it out
I have finally grasped the issue at hand.

I forgot to love you, love you, love you
I neglected to show you the love you deserved.

Radio's playing songs for me and you
The radio is playing songs that remind me of you and me.

"Chasing Cars" reminds me of nights in your room
The song "Chasing Cars" in particular reminds me of the nights we spent together in your room.

Drinking wine under your window, back when love was so damn simple
We used to drink wine under your window and love was uncomplicated and effortless back then.

How the hell did I end up losing you? Mmm
I cannot understand how I managed to let go of you.

If I came back now would you still be there?
If I returned now, would you still welcome me with open arms?

If I come around would you even care?
If I came back, would you allow me to make things right again?

I forgot to love you, love you, love you
I once again admit that I neglected to show you the love you needed and deserved.
